Hi.

Just in case my problem seems too trivial for you guys to be posted about in this group I would like to state that I did indeed search for a solution to my problem for quiet some time now and did not find one.

My OS version is Mac OS X 10.5.5, I am using Lyx 1.5.6 and the MacTeX-2008 distribution.

After it took me ages to get a working test of using nomencl or glossaries to produce a table with acronyms and one with a glossary I am now looking for a way to automate pdf-creation. I did find some forum posts stating to add a custom converter for a custom pdf-filetype. Adding a custom pdf-filetype was easy.
How do I add an converter to automatically get my tables refreshed?

I wrote a script, which is executing latex, makeindex and pdflatex. To get a pdf with the glossary-tables I need to export from lyx to tex, then run that script. As latex won' t work with a .lyx-file I suspect I can not really use my script with a converter (tried it and nothing happend, so I am unsure whether it is working or whether I executed the converter right).

Using Google I was not able to find a solution or a guide about how to automate these things.

Can one of you help me with that or give me a pointer where to look for a solution?
Thanks a lot in advance for all your efforts.

Greetings,
Michael
